How dumb do you have to be? It’s a wild animal not a cute house cat. I’m sorry but she’s deserves what happened to her. This is Sarah space not for humans to take selfie. There are reasons for their to be multiple layers of protection for not only for us dumb humans but for the animals as well.

White people…white people…white people…when are you ever gonna learn…as black as a jaguar is its not the African people your kind took from there land enslaved them tamed them and expect them to bow at you just like the African did..This are wild no matter how you tame them …they will be wild fever..coz that's how God created them.pufffft.

This woman is lucky because it was Jaguar. If it is a big crocodile or alligator, then she will become its meal. There is a video in youtube that showed an indian man who tried to take a selfie with a big crocodile; then boom the crocodile attacked him and pulled him into the water to drown him; then he was death.
